L-Theanine's Relaxing Effects

[corrriemae]

I love L-Theanine! I'm a student and I'm super busy all the time. I take one a day and I'm more relaxed and more focused. It's great!

[BlueReishiMan]

You can take as much as you want. I have gone up to 3 grams a day, it's great

[xxnezsaxx]

and how many mg a day is good to take

[PhilHumor]

@xxnezsaxx

200 mg 3-6 times daily = 600-1200 mg daily dosage of L-Theanine.

[ababyinthesun]

@PhilHumor too much

[terriblelove1]

@xxnezsaxx My acupuncturist suggested 200mg in the morning and 200mg in the evening. Works like a charm.

so is this better then taking a anti depressent bc i really dont wanna go back to zoloft n i want to know can i take b complex with this l theanine?

[BellaaMarlene]

this supplement SUCKS. recently i feel even more emotionally numb & unmotivated, and it makes my attention span wrose after taking it. im ditching this crap...its only been a few days & im already dulled down, all my "excited" emotions are inhibited

[patricknelson]

Selling pills or not, the science behind it is very solid. So -- with that said, don't run away thinking that L-Theanine will not help reduce anxiety and help some people focus.

anyone ever heard of doing a study on St. John's Wort extract being used to combat ADHD?

decaffeinated Green tea sucks! You lose the important L-Theanine Amino Acid and Anti-Oxidants that relaxes the mind and body, Tea is supposed to have cafffiene and that's the way it should be...Plus it doesn't have that much as coffee, and it Caffienated Green tea doesn't give you the crash or jitters.

[Thegoldstarman]

@EricSchwin22 depends how much green tea u drink some people get jitters from half a cup of weak tea

[twix99]

LOL trying to sell pills, L-Theanine is found naturally in TEA, go for a nice WHITE OR GREEN tea and enjoy the benefits of L-Theanine.

[pinkytm1]

Yeah drink decaffeinate green tea.

[suckafartbatman]

I would rather take the pill.. And my little ADHD boy is going to take with me.

[dirtypaper]

in fact, you need caffeine together with L-theanine to get optimal effect. I'ts like painkillers with caffeine, they work better and without the caffeine crash afterwards.

[pinkytm1]

I drink caffeinate green tea. :)
